[求助]OG11th-Diagnostic Test-39

39. According to scholars, the earliest writing was probable not a direct rendering of speech, but was more likely to begin as a separate and distinct symbolic system of communication, and only later merged with spoken language.


(A)       was more likely to begin as


(B)       more than likely began as


(C)       more than likely beginning from


(D)       it was more than likely begun from


(E)       it was more likely that it began


为什么不是选A?不是be likely to do sth.嘛?

书上这么说的:

A. In this context, more likely is not a complete idiomatic expression; was...to begin is not parallel to was and merged.

B. Correct. "in this sentence, more than likely is the correct compararive constrction; the simple past tense began, parallel to was and merged, fits grammatically into the sentence."

ets怎么可以这样,明明是be more likely to do,非要拆成两部分说不对,真是的。

And also pay attention to the parallel structure of "not ... but ..."

很有道理~

题干中是 “was not...but...”

选a的话就成了“was not ...but was...”系动词的就乱套了,后一个was打乱了原来的结构

还是不清楚be more likely to do/that从句 与 more than likely 的区别到底是什么?

OG上说后者是表示两者间的比较,那前者呢,是表示更大的可能性吗?那前者也是一种可能性的比较啊,not X, but more than likely Y。

哪位NN帮忙解答一下,谢谢。
